Dancing Poems

To write a poem that helps people think through an issues is rewarding and motivating. To write a poem that helps people sense a touch of Heaven is also nice. To write poems that inspire others to write poems, now that is the first place ribbon.

Why do I write poetry?

The poetry I write has to do with issues that come to my awareness and that I am confused, passionate or discouraged about. By writing about it I get some thoughts onto paper and sort myself out. Emotions have a place in poems. Metaphor is a skill that many people are still learning about. English class continues on in some people’s minds as they decipher what a poem can truly mean.

I love poetry. I really like the way it curves and swirls and comes back to the main point again. I really like the way new words can be used that depict such wonderful descriptions of things like nature. I also like the way a poem sort of has a rhythm to it even if it doesn’t rhyme. I just love poetry.

Ways of connecting while writing poetry

My mom and I used to write together. That can be fun. It was nice to pick a title that the both of us wrote about. We found that we were able to have similarities and differences. People liked comparing our writing and we found something that connected us as mother and daughter, poet to poet. Writing poetry can be shared like that.

Poetry can lead to discussion about what is important to us. I love to talk to people about their favourite things and about the things that give meaning to their lives. I found myself in a team with a local singer where we went out and performed songs and poetry to people. It felt like a ministry and it was very fulfilling. It’s nice to hear people talk truthfully.

Other Good Outcomes From Poetry

Poetry can be funny for children and then they can feel good. It can teach children to do things like eat their vegetables. It can teach children new words and can give them a bit of a treat with words. Most of us can name a few rhymes or songs we heard as kids and for some of us they make us feel good even now.

I can write also to get a message across. There are things I want to say, and have a good chance of getting them heard in a poem. I want to tell people things like same-sex couples deserve love like others, or the environment still needs our help, or different ages of people could interact and work through some boundaries. Said out loud, it sounds a bit like a lesson, but said in a poem it sounds like I am sharing some of my honest and important thoughts to the reader.

Poetry is magical, whimsical and more. But why go on when I can simply share a poem with you. Enjoy!
